Could be a backup in case someone is fishing with 75M for Murillo.
-
Succession planning? It’s like we’re a proper premier league club.
-
Pete O'Rourke has us linked with late swoopage for Arnaut Danjuma.
Vague recollection of him being decent at Bournemouth but no idea what kind of forward he is - expensive, would be my guess.
-
He was good at the Muff and dreadful at Spuds and blue Scouse.
Not sure he is our target. I think I was wrong on Carmo as bizarrely we are buying him and then loaning him to Greece afterall. Hopefully EM pays a little over the odds on the loan fee so we make a profit on this and can spend on our own needs
Looks like Eddie is on his way. Would love Ramsdale to join him but Forest are going to be Foresty.
Chicago: Fixing the faulty wiring.
-
Romano says Forest have made an improved offer for Giménez, which, if accepted, would represent Feyenoord's club-record sale.
-
Sky sports chappy saying we've been unable to reach deal with Arsenal. Two other clubs in for Nketiah as well
-
Don't want to pay him the 120k a week currently on (I'd heard 100k before, now heard 120k).
-
That might be for the best.
-
Gimenez or Toney it is then.
-
Already agreed terms with Nketiah. It’s Arsenal being Arsey!
Chicago: Proctologist.
-
David Ornstein is generally on the mark and that's not what he says.
-
That's what Romano said 3 days ago but wrongly it seems. He's just a bloke on the Internet after all.
-
David Ornstein seems to think the clubs reached agreement but not the player. He also says we’re “refocusing on Gimenez”.
Shame about Nketiah, but he’s not so good that it’s a catastrophe - especially since there is still time for a Plan B. If this had happened at 10:45 pm next Friday, it wouldn’t have been great. As it is, I’m fairly relaxed
-
I think it actually appears like we're negotiating in a competent way. I am not too sad about Nketiah, even though I got used to the idea and the high pressing we did yesterday looked like exactly the sort of game that would suit him. It could still happen. If Gimenez happens instead then no idea hiw that will work out but it keeps life interesting.
-
I'm fairly relaxed generally about the attacking. T'Wood is decent at nine, particularly if T has a good run of fitness. The forward options around them are also good.
Bit more concerned about the defence (starting with the number one), the midfield screen, and getting the ball transitioned at the right tempo to the forwards. Still feel like we lack power in the central areas, and can have our legs run off us.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against more striker movement/goals.
I always thought there were a range of reasons EN was unlikely to end up here.
-
I haven't seen Sels do much wrong in the first two games. He certainly has the physicality to do those smothering beast saves well, and he kicks very well. He is a God/good compared to Vlach, Hennessy and Turner.
But whatever I think, I think there are people in the club who agree with you and I expect we will see Kelleher join on loan or maybe even permanently as Liverpool don't want him with Marmawhatssit joining, he won't want to be 3rd choice and he is a very long term target for us. Ramsdale on loan is also still possible.
On the defence, I think we're fine in the centre with four decent-looking options and Moreno coming in will help with the fullbacks. I bloody hope we don't get Montiel, if we do it surely has to be with a view to him going to Oly. On the screen, Sangare's start is encouraging, Yates has been good and there is probably more to come from Dominguez. Even with Danilo out, I am not sure we'll see any more signings in that position.
